We were asked to confront an issue plaguing our world and design at least one poster around that issue. I found an article about worldwide pollinator decline in National Geographic and found the issue both terrifying and intriguing. Human pesticide use is the primary cause for the rapid decline of bees; therefore I attempted to capture the disease and death plaguing one of our world's most important natural resources. The first poster lists all of the pesticides that are highly toxic to bees.
For the next phase of this project, we were asked to create an installation to either raise awareness or propose a solution. I glued bees all over the threshold of our studio so that viewers would have to step on the bees, inciting the guilt that us humans should feel over our treatment of bees.
